Many years ago I posted photos of a red Coach 9870 and it was authenticated by
@Hyacinth and
@DemRam (see links below) but now I have some questions.
It's finally dawned on me that I didn't post photos of the entire strap in the AT thread and the strap is not adjustable. I am used to Court bags that have adjustable straps, did they ever come with non-adjustable straps? I'm trying to figure out if the strap has been replaced but it matches the color of the bag so it seems original.
Also, the xxxx-xxx serial suggests late 1980s or early 1990s to me (correct?) do you know when Coach produced red Court bags like this? Thanks!

ETA: I may have partially answered my own question, thanks to our wonderful library of Coach Catalogs that were provided by
@Hyacinth!
This 1990 Fall Catalog page lists a red Court bag with a detachable strap but it doesn't indicate that the strap is adjustable. I measured the strap and it is 44 inches like the catalog, do our resident experts agree that this is probably the same bag? Thanks again!
